Double the practical experience: the 2026 Masterclass programme is expanding!

Good news for anyone keen to delve deeper into the subject: in 2026, the Käpsele Innovation Festival is taking the next step by dedicating a whole extra day to the masterclasses. This will give us even more scope for genuine discussion and practical solutions.

Two days, two venues, full intensity

This year, the programme is spread across two top-class venues in Freiburg:

Thursday, 16 July | SICK Arena: Amidst the hustle and bustle of the festival, exclusive hands-on sessions will take place in three igloos. 45 minutes of concentrated practical experience, right at the heart of the event.
Friday, 17 July | Lokhalle Freiburg: The new exclusive day. Here, we go into depth. More time for masterclasses means more time for collaborative work and direct application to your own day-to-day business.

Why it’s worth taking part

Unlike traditional lectures, our masterclasses focus on interaction. In small groups, we work on real-world cases – from AI and robotics to New Work, Green Tech and Med Tech. The aim: results that can be applied directly within your own company.
